Agreed that the bus is the fastest way from A2 to B3 and you must tell the driver to stop at B. Just note that you must have your SAS boarding pass or you'll have to take the Airtrain to Terminal B.

Take the bus. Maximum wait should be no more than 15 minutes and ride takes no more than another 3-5 minutes. While Airtrain may be a few minutes quicker, there is no way you want to risk facing a long line at B security.

Resist the urge to exit security and take the air train. While security might not be a problem later in the evening, the air train can take forever. It breaks down and the later it is the longer it takes to get going again. I avoid the air train after 9pm if at all possible.
Echo the comments about asking the driver to stop at B. They don't stop unless notified. Also make sure the bus you get on is going to B/C as one of the buses will be going to other A gates.

Will be flying into EWR Terminal A and need to get to B for a connecting SAS flight, EWR-CPH. I understand that there may be an airside United bus which goes from A to B ( upon request ) then to C. How frequent is this bus shuttle? And, does anyone know when the last shuttle to B would depart? My SAS flight departs at 11:30 PM, and I am to arrive EWR at about 9:45 PM. Thanks.

Another international to domestic connection time question
Facts: Arrive on UA from EDI 12:15 Sunday afternoon, early October. Carry on only. Gold. Need to go to BOS.
Choice: appears to be 1:59 PM or ~5PM departure (5 hours at EWR). Gold with international flight should get me into the RCC I believe.
Which would you choose?
thanks!

I'd do the shorter connection - not that big of a gamble.
But I'd also shoot for getting GE in the interim!

If you miss the 1:59 then you can always try the 5PM, or one of the later flights (which run till about 10 PM).

I think it depends on the aircraft type. Even pre-merger, many express/connection flights served by Q400s departed from C rather than A. It seems like they're using A more for the routes served by E135/145s and CRJs.

Arriving EWR from Stockholm (ARN), scheduled 11:55 (Fri). I have global entry, and plan to carry on. Connection to DCA is currently a ~3p flight, but there's an earlier one at 12:50. What chances wouldI have of making the earlier flight (none, so-so, good), assuming on-time arrival?

Guys - not exactly a connection question but didn't want to open a new thread. ifly.com EWR wait times shows a max of 15m for tues even 5pm. Hence, would getting to the airport 90 mins prior be okay? (i don't have elite status on this United international flight to CDG)
Thx
also, what is the baggage drop-off cut off? 30 mins prior to departure?
